Pear Chicken Curry
Ripe pears provide sweet and tangy flavor to this incredibly easy-to-make curry that’s scented with a variety of warming spices. Serve over Basmati rice, if desired.

Peel and core 1 pear; puree and set aside.

This is absolutely Delicious! We like more curry so I used double the amount,as well as double the Garlic. I did not have coconut milk so I used Chicken broth. I did not add raisins because my Husband doesn’t like them. It is a mouth watering dish,alone or over rice.We think i will be great on garlic bread too!
